Ah, Mark's using a Filestore. I have a vaaaauuugggeeee recollection that
the Filestore returns dodgy results from unsupported NetFS_Op calls that
confuses NetFS 5.78, causing it to generate an error instead of /returning/
the error result. The BLib.NetFS works around this fault, but I haven't
incorporated it into Zip, only into UnZip. (Recompile for 32-bit... :)
As a temporary fix, add:
795 ENDPROC
NOTE: DO NOT DO THIS IN AN EDITOR! Zip (and UnZip) is crunched and
loading it into an editor will destroy it as the editor fails to
retokenise the code on saving. LOAD "Zip", add the line and reSAVE it.
Then it should work for FileStore. It will ignore MDFS metadata, but
Mark's only zipping up FileStore metadata anyway.
I'll make a note to prioritise "recompiling" Zip with the proper
library. It won't be this coming week as I'm about to drive halfway
across the country to do some more house-moving. That's why the
A5000 was backing up the server yesterday :)
